SUBJECT: Re-Appointments to the Design Review Board
MEETING DATE: July 20, 2009
RECOMMENDATION: Re-appoint three members to the Design Review Board and appoint
one new member.
BACKGROUND: Four terms on the Design Review Board expired June 30, 2009, with one
additional vacancy for an architectural historian. There are three applicants seeking re-
appointment and one new applicant applying for the architectural historian position. If all
applicants seeking appointment are placed, the remaining vacancy is designated for a non-
professional member.
The Design Review Board was created under Section 18.62 of the Bozeman Municipal Code.
Members are appointed to staggered two-year terms. The Board is charged with the design
review of certain plans and proposals and should be comprised of six professional and two non-
professional members. Professional members should be degreed in their respective disciplines
and/or otherwise licensed or certified by their respective professional authorities. They shall
include
4 Architects;
1 Architectural historian;
1 Landscape architect/designer;
2 Non-professional members.
At least one of the professional members shall have a demonstrated expertise in urban design.
The non-professional members shall have an interest in, or knowledge of, architecture, urban
design, or historic preservation. No member shall serve as a member of the City Planning Board
or the Zoning Commission concurrently. The Board is generally advisory to the City Planning
Board, Board of Adjustment, and the City Commission, although it does make the final decisions
on some minor applications.
